Toyoko Inn Marseille Saint Charles
Room was more than suitable and location was a few minutes from st Charles station easy travel to airport and to metro around the city. A major bonus was the electronic toilet in the room who my fellow guest Kevin vaughan said was surprisingly enjoyable but it tickles a bit.

Mercure Marseille Centre Vieux Port
L’hôtel est un peu vieillot, et le quartier… plutôt très populaire et même parfois inquiétant. L’accès au parking…difficile. Pour autant, chambres propres et confortables, personnel gentil et avenant, super cocktails et bon snacking au bar.
